Something weird is going on with my turbo. When I try to start it, it turns over for a second or two then everything dies (lights, dash, radio) literally goes dark for a second then it catches and starts. It's only been doing this the last week.
I'm not sure if this is related but the other night I think I felt my clutch slip a little in 6th when I floored it, the weird thing is I tried to replicate the slippage,
But there was nothing,no slippage, in any gear....is that normal?

Some info: 07, 15k, fvd exhaust, proto tune, battery replaced 6 months ago

Any advice is much appreciated.....

 

i also noticed that the TPMS resets when this happens......anybody expierenced
something similar???

 

I know you replaced your battery but does it seem like it is turning over slowly? There may be a slight drain on the new battery or you may need to use a trickle charger on it between uses.

 

I'll give the trickle charger a shot.......I also noticed that the car rolls the windows down a little bit........weird!

 

Check the battery.

 

The problem is the connection between the seat and the wheel...

or the battery

 

Check your alternator too.

 

very funny........i cant wait to see your 458!!!!

 

The windows are supposed to do it. According to the manual they should go down a few mm. to protect the seals. I also think it helps relieve pressure in the cabin to make it easier to close the door.

 

Maybe a loose contact somewhere is touching the chassis and making this problem occur?
